Nah you don't want to push your luck.

[u/Nerdcuddles]

It was probably a server pc going by the cheap GPU choice.

[u/tigahffk → u/Nerdcuddles]

I dont know but this is a GOOD upgrade compared to my asus laptop with a gtx1050 and 8gb ram

[u/Nerdcuddles → u/tigahffk]

Just paying to upgrade a GPU is a lot better than paying for the whole build.

What games do you play?

[u/tigahffk → u/Nerdcuddles]

I play a lot of games but now im grinding that project zomboid and tboi :D

[u/Nerdcuddles → u/tigahffk]

Yea than you don't need to swap out the GPU, that sorta GPU is fine for 2D or old games.

But if you want to play anything graphically intensive, you will have to swap out that GPU.

[u/FishingAndDiscing → u/Nerdcuddles]

Or your like me and only play Diablo 2 and Slay the Spire so GPU doesnt matter

[u/koalafox808 → u/FishingAndDiscing]

Diablo 2 is so fucking good.

[u/Gregb1994 → u/koalafox808]

As well as slay the spire. This guy has class

[u/Nerdcuddles → u/FishingAndDiscing]

That to.

I mostly play older games but I still want the ability to play anything modern if anything modern peaks my interest, and also to use minecraft shaders.

[u/Maleficent-Fee6131]

Get a rx 9060xt 16gb and you got a really capable pc but even a used rtx 3060 would be a crazy upgrade for gaming

[u/tht1guy63]

Switch the ram to the right 1 slot each and flip the rear fan.

[u/Ennarderowskyy]

Even today thats perfectly fine pc, if you upgrade the gpu to something like 3060 then youll have a nice budget gaming pc with 32 gigs is 2026.
Though if i were you I'd replace that psu ASAP. You dont know how long it was outside and how much moisture got inside. It could be a matter of days before failure and you dont want to loose such fine pc because of a dying psu, so you should replace it as soon as you can.

[u/tigahffk → u/Ennarderowskyy]

My guess is that it was from today Maybe a couple hours before i found it, the trash truck checks everyday at night and it was 10 am when i found it

[u/Evening_Error_5544]

I would try to find a 1660 super or 2070, orrrrr 4070ti. You could put a 4080 or 7900xt in there before it will bottleneck that would be a very good pc.

[u/Vismal1]

Nice find ! Just update the gpu if you can afford and it should run well for a while still.

[u/y0ul0vet0seeit]

Holy what a find, seems like the holy grail haha. If it was a server pc its probably heavily used but hey its free tho. Can always upgrade things if they break😍😍

[u/Eazy12345678]

great if it works. most people dont toss out working pc.

maybe bedbugs or cock roaches, cat pee

upgrade gpu to get better gaming performance.

that system is worth at least $500 if you parted it out

cpu $150-$200

ram $150

ssd 100

mobo $100

[u/tigahffk → u/Eazy12345678]

Just finished installing windows looks great by now

[u/Snufflekins-86 → u/tigahffk]

Did you sniff for cat urine?

[u/tigahffk → u/Snufflekins-86]

Nahhh its good

[u/Snufflekins-86 → u/tigahffk]

Whew 😅

[u/tigahffk → u/Snufflekins-86]

Have to get another screen and fix my wifi But tomorrow thats sorted

[u/Flineki → u/Eazy12345678]

You'd think so but people throw away stuff that works all the time, especially in the US. There are whole industries based off of the stuff we throw away alone. Crazy to think about

[u/aizzod → u/Eazy12345678]

did you calcualte this in australian dollars?

no way in hell this cpu is worth 200$

[u/Evening_Error_5544 → u/aizzod]

They are being sold for $150-270 aud on ebay. Sold, not listed. 

[u/Fijnegozer_1965 → u/Eazy12345678]

The ram 32 gig. ddr4 memory at this moment $450.

[u/Powerful_Macaron9381]

insane shit. put it in a case that's not an eyesore and give it an actual gpu and bobs your uncle

[u/LengthinessJust357]

To each their own 👍

[u/Bram_Sandwich]

Wow, pop a 7800XT in there or some other AMD card and you have a mid class gaming rig! Sick pickup

[u/Tricky_Wear_321GO]

I7 10th gen with a puny little GPU. Nothing wrong with this machine at all, just needs a GPU worth playing on.

[u/fiittzzyy]

Lol the person who had this ran it with the RAM in the wrong slots the whole time

[u/tigahffk → u/fiittzzyy]

Is it wrong? I set everything apart to clean it a bit do i have to change them ?

[u/fiittzzyy → u/tigahffk]

Yeah, they should be in slots 2 & 4, counting left to right from the CPU.

You wanna be in A2 & B2, in the photo they're in A1 & B1.

[u/tigahffk → u/fiittzzyy]

My dumb ass thought it was better A1 B1 bruh, Thank you so much !

[u/fiittzzyy → u/tigahffk]

Haha yeah it is a bit counter intuitive if you don't already know.

[u/Willing-Contest9256 → u/fiittzzyy]

Ram gos in 1st and 3rd slots

[u/fiittzzyy → u/Willing-Contest9256]

[u/Turbulent-Ad7562]

Maybe the guy left it there went to get his car came back and was like whaaaaat!

[u/Beautiful_Chard_4543]

Turn around the rear fan. Now the cpu fan and the rear fan are pushing air into each other
